Help with loading a GUI created using the GUIEditor

Post by Cube_ »

The included GUIEditor, it saved an xml file with all my specifications. and it looks great. but I am slightly confused about how to load it. (Tutorials never mentioned this... this should really be added to the GUI tutorial!)

They list all supported formats.
you should also take your time to go through the tutorials included with your download.

I haven't used the GUIEditor myself... but first try even without reading much documentation would be IGUIEnvironment::loadGUI.

If it doesn't work it's most likely because IrrXML can't load 64-bit UTF. Try converting the file in a text editor.
